So i agree with that... i just sort of hand wave it as a plot device. But yeah the part about Sumo taking a loan to fulfill unreasonable demands was the opposite of self respect for me. Self respect would've been being upfront and saying this is out of our means, either you accept us for who we are or leave it.
yes, for kamini - i get it why she gave that list i.e. to have the marriage cancelled. still shravan thinking men should call the shots and women should be doormats, i get it- it was fed by his dad but he is not a teenager anymore. he is a post grad from oxford - at this age and i am 29 myself, your thoughts are shaped by ur experience, yes ur upbringing and parents have an influence but by this age, we all should have a mind of our own especially the ones who lived abroad and didnt go home for 10 years đ
So I would agree that most people start to form ideas beyond their parents in adulthood. But I think when we are talking about a traumatized child its different. Most people with childhood trauma tend to repeat their family dynamics in their adult relationships, sabotaging themselves. Like child of an alcoholic marrying an alcoholic etc. By the trauma of being abandoned by his mom, Shravan has likely been stunted emotionally. Aside from Sumo, it doesn't seem like he's had other relationship experience because he basically closed himself off. Also Ramnath opinions would carry a lot more weight than in a normal situation because this is the only person Shravan has been able to trust in.
i was ok with him thinking sorry nahin bola etc.., correlating to his childhood issues with her but more than that was not right. reason i say this is that entertainment industry does influence young minds - look at how many teenagers we have on this forum? they should at least send out the right message. unless they redeem it in next week or so - i have to agree with a lot of members and my friends on this forum that they are losing the plot and the trajectory is going down unfortunatelly like a typical indian show - started off well and then the downward swing begins.
I understand what you are saying about giving off the right message. But I think they will redeem themselves. I just can't see them upholding the idea that women need to be doormats etc.
